So what's the real deal with static discharge? . I'm thinking of buying a pres jackson2 but the reports are that the finals blow for sport. I would mostly use it on an antron 99 but a comment I read somewhere implies the closely related imax 2000 generates a lot of static. But I understood they were dc grounded which I think means they have a direct short between the center coax and the braid. I tried to repair a sirio mobile antenna once that had a short purposefully in it and one would think that it would be one of the safest antennas to buy mobile cause they would discharge into the body of the car.
And are there easy mods that can be done to a radio to protect them?.
